Guten Tag!
Today 13.10.818 I've started my patrol with meine bomber when ze Admiral called all of us for an meeting in ze New Berlin. After we gathered all ze Admiral put me with Major Felicia Durm and za Flieger Karl Hoch to pattrol ze stuttgard, omega-7, omega-3 and omega-11 systems. After zat Admiral called us all to ze Hamburg system in order to make ey "Hit and Run" raid in ze Texas system ( http://yfrog.com/2ssnap0129j )
But when we arrived there we found one Liberty Assault Battlecruiser but he surrendered when he saw our force. Another Liberty craft surrendered his name was Corran but he got into an kind of panic and he star open fire and he was killed ( http://yfrog.com/j1snap0131j ).After that more navy showed up and we have start to fight. We have managed to take down their carrier LNS-Columbia, and i had the honor to take the killing shoot( http://yfrog.com/mcsnap0134j )
I can only say that zis raid was an total Victory and we have very insignificant losses from our side, only one pilot shooted down but we have recovered his escape pod with no difficult
After my prompt awakal in the Westfalen medical bay, I was ordered into space. I grabbed my Wraith and flew out. Ein Gefreiter quickly briefed me on my task and I immediately got to it. I flew through Hamburg into Berlin, where I took 2 full rounds of the trade lanes. Finding nothing, I continued my patrol into Stuttgart where I was immediately greeted by ein LWB pilot. After a brief chat I ''persuaded'' him to return home after all; no point in wasting military resources on simple farmers. It proves that this helped as taking the trade lane to Planet Stuttgart led me to a Hessian who was attempting to pirate a transport. My arrival scared him and he quickly retreated into the nearby asteroid field, the Ostnebel.
After checking up on the transport and ensuring it's safety I continued my patrol of Stuttgart. I passed through Baden-Baden, to the Omega-11 gate and back again. After completing my run all the way to the Omega-7 Gate, I decided to return to Planet Stuttgart and check for any contraband smugglers. I waited for about 10 minutes until I hit a jackpot. I found a small Transport carrying slaves who was trying to slip past. When he tried to make a run for it, despite my several warnings against doing so I was forced to destroy him. A nearby lawful transport was able to assist me in the liberation of the Slaves from their pods onto Planet Stuttgart.
At this point I recieved a message from a Guild Master of the GMG, one Taro Katsuo. He informed me he had just destroyed a Rheinland Military ship in Sigma-13 after he had been engaged by him in GMG space. I treated him with the respect he deserved and invited him to the Planet New Berlin orbit to clear up the situation. He arrived with a mercenary escort, understandable given the hostility of the Rheinland people towards the GMG and his stature as a Guild Master of them. As I went through the evidence, one of our Admirals (Admiral Rall, I believe) arrived. He ordered the meaning of a GMG pilot in Rheinland space from me and I gave it. I was then informed that the situation was under his direct control but I was to remain in the direct area of the Admiral and Herr Katsuo.
After some 5 minutes of discussion and overview of the evidence submitted, the actions of the GMG Guild Master were deemed acceptable and he was allowed a safe and legal return to Sigma-13. My patrol was then continued around the New Berlin system once more until my shift was over and I returned to my quarters on the Karlsruhe in Stuttgart.

Guten Tag!
Today 14.10.818 I've started my patrol with meine bomber in ze Hamburg system when i saw an mass fleet of Liberty ships approaching to ze planet. They had many fighters and gunboats and capital ships, so I've focused on taking down zeir gunboats. I had managed to shoot down one gunboat but i had run out of supplies and meine bomber was very damaged so i had to run out of battle and to dock to avoid getting killed.
Ze gunboat targeted by me: http://yfrog.com/i3snap0145gj
Confirmation of destruction: http://yfrog.com/j6snap0146j
After the Liberty fleet have been destroyed me und Flieger Karl Hoch have patrol ze Vaterland but we didn't find noting worth for our intervention.
Upon un-docking of the Karlsruhe, I was ordered to remain in the Stuttgart Orbit for scanning incoming ships. As usual, I remained there for some 30 minutes until I was ordered to Hamburg. In the time I was guarding the trade lanes there, I found two embargo breakers in total and had them relinquish their supplies to Planet Hamburg. Eventually, I was ordered by Admiral Voelkel to regroup at the Strausberg near Bonn Station. Some 5 other Militar personnel were there and we were split into 2 groups of three. Our group consisted of a Gefreiter, Flieger Schoon and I. We began our patrol through Frankfurt into Munchen, where we were told to split up into 3 directions. Fraulein Schoon disregarded zis order and I instead patrolled both mine and her designated area.
After our patrol was completely finished, we proceeded together back through Frankfurt and onto New Berlin. Many of us then docked, but I was not one of them. I continued to Hamburg to watch for embargo-breakers but found nothing. I took lodging on Planet Hamburg after my patrol was finished.

Guten Tag!
Today 17.10.818 I've responded at an emergency call zat Liberty ships are assaulting Hamburg. I've jump in my bomber as soon i could and I've headed to ze Hamburg system. When i have arrivet there i have counted 14 ships +/- all capitals ships. Here what I have saw there: guncam 1 .
Ze fleet was huge, ze force unstoppable, but we had ze faith and we have manage to put them on the run. Bomber wing destroyed 4 capitals: the LNS-Vanguard , TF7|LNS-Oakland , ze LNS-Oblivion unde ze LNS-Columbia .
I must say that i have never saw so many capital shis only cruisers and battleships and carriers all together, I must say that i am thinking zat ze Liberty want to take over Hamburg by any means, but if they will continue like zis, they will soon have no ships to defend ze Liberty not even ze Texas, unde zen....will be our move to be taken.
Long live ze KANZLER, long live ze REPUBLIC, long live RHEINLAND.
As an addendum to the report of Gefreiter Otto von Marck, i wish to name all [RM] pilots present at the Libertonian attack of yesterday evening
Major Verena Higham
Leutnant Otto Weddigen
Oberfeldwebel Lisa Thome
Feldwebel Adrian Wiesen
Feldwebel Ludwig Meyer
Gefreiter Otto von Merck
Gefreiter Thorsten Isolde
Additionally, during the time of the battle a Zoner transport was present which after the battle was finished handed me a few pilots.
They are listed below:
4 Civilian Pilots
1 Libertonian Cruiser Commander
1 Rheinland Cruiser Commander
14 Liberty Navy Pilots
1 Liberty Police Pilot
15 Liberty Rogue Pilots
6 Landwirtrechtbewegungs Pilots
1 General Pirat
2 Rheinland Police Pilots
12 Unioner Pilots
3 Xeno Pilots
On the 27th, I continued my patrol patterns after several days of cleaning duty aboard our magnificent ship, the Karlsruhe. As I had no superior officers I could contact I took my normal patrol, starting with a 20 minute control of Stuttgart. Traffic was very low this day, so I continued to Hamburg. I remained here for well over 40 minutes where upon encountering only 2 ships, both of which were just Secondary Fleet, I returned to Stuttgart. Upon taking the trade lane towards Planet Stuttgart I found an LWB who was presumably awaiting Synth Food arrival. Overwhelmed by my superior weaponry and training, I persuaded him to retreat into the Ostnebel.
Seeing as the day was a very inactive one, I only remained in the Stuttgart orbit for some 10 minutes although actually finding a Junker with some Military pilots. He offered to hand them over before I even got a chance to hail him and he was allowed to carry on. I dropped the pilots off at the Karlsruhe after which my shift was over.

''Nothing like a cold bear on a Saturday night.''
I begun my patrol out of Vierlande after having dropped of a larger number of criminals the previous evening. Open touching into space I was immediately notified by a Guiliano_Agricola that an Outcast Gunboat was operating in Dresden. After recieving permission from Feldwebel Lindau I proceeded with haste there. As I reached the sector he was located in, I found Herr Agricola and three Kruger ships being pirated by the very Outcast Gunboat Herr Agricola had reported. He carried the ID ''Chuck_Norris'' but I could not get a closer look at his ship since upon noticing my arrival he was quick to leave even without his spoils.
As I was to report back to Feldwebel Lindau a huge ion storm hit and all comm systems were disengaged. Upon regaining control of my ship, I found myself flown out of sector B-6 all the way to Bautzen Station. I quickly took the tradelanes down to Leipzig and on to the aforementioned sector but luckily, found the Kruger ships unscathed. Now that my comm systems were up, I was able to report back to Feldwebel Lindau who told me he had experienced the same comm problems. Just as I was going to return to the Strausberg for further instructions, a Polizei Offizier told me he had spotted two Corsair Gunboats in Omega-7.
I was quickly granted access to Omega-7 and continued to Freistadt. Upon discovering a Freelancer trying to bypass our laws against Military Vehicle transportation, I put the lead on the Corsairs to a temporary halt. I was able to get the supplies back and had the Freelancer moor it at Freistadt. I continued with the Polizei Offizier, Triton, towards the field. We did a quick sweep but discovered nothing. At this point Gefreiter Von Marck had been ordered into the area by Feldwebel Lindau but as I gave him a status update, the Gefreiter was quickly called back. I was told to proceed back to New Berlin to support the Feldwebel against some suspected pirates. However, by the time I had reached Planet Stuttgart the issue had already been resolved and I enountered them myself near the Jump Gate to New Berlin.
To my amazement, they had managed to slip a Rheinland Polizei Pilot in their hold away from the Feldwebel but luckily they complied immediately and handed him over. Strangely enough, the Karlsruhe and even the Planetary defences of Stuttgart opened fire on them. By this time my job had been done and they were already some 8 clicks ahead of me so I followed the Feldwebels order and returned to New Berlin. I went through the system all the way to the Hamburg Jump Gate until I was ordered into Frankfurt for a standard patrol. Nothing was found near the Jump Gate or Mannheim Station, but upon reaching Mainz I got a jackpot.
A Freelancer by the ID of Tarzan_3 was carrying Counterfeit Software and illegal codeweapons. As he seemed like a reasonable man and a supporter of the Kanzler, I let him off with simply handing over the codeweapons and allowing me to destroy the contraband. Of course, he was made to solemnly swear never to try and smuggle again. I warned him off the concequences this would have and told him how noone escapes the Kanzlers military might. He showed genuine understanding and seemed appreciative that he was given a second chance. Upon reporting this to the Feldwebel yet again, I was ordered to make a quick sweep through Münschen.
This was by far the least inactive system yet as all I found throughout my patrol of the Battleship, Nuremberg and the Augsburg Colony was a simple Kruger vessel. As I arrived to Planet Nuremberg I was ordered back into New Berlin to await further instruction by the Feldwebel. However, as I passed near New Berlin my ship was swept up in another ion storm and I found myself yet again in the vicinity of the Vierlande Prison, where I had started my patrol.
I tried to report to both the Feldwebel, the Gefreiter and even the RNC-Stormholm but none of them were responsive. I deducted that my comm systems must have been taken out by the ion storm so I activated cruise engines and made my way for Planet Hamburg. After taken the lane midway between Alster and Hamburg, I realised that not only my comm systems were failing but also the others. Eventually all power but basic lifesupport was cut out and I was left drifting near Hamburg.
I spent some 15 minutes just floating there near Gefreiter von Marck and a Rheinland Cruiser until something snapped in my ship. A cable suddenly pulled out and smoke filled my cockpit. Systems were suddenly engaged and not only did I lose all control of the ship but my guns started firing everywhere. Luckily enough, the Gefreiter was sharp and had the Cruiser fire upon my engines. I spent another 5 minutes or so tinkering with the ship until eventually I managed to fix the main circuitry. After establishing radio comms with von Marck I was ordered to make a checkup on my ship at Planet Hamburg and now here I am at --Location classified-- awaiting notification from the workshop. They told me it should only be a couple of days but in the meantime I suppose I'll get a chance to catch up on some paperwork.

Guten tag mein comrades, began today's patrol coming out of New Berlin after being ordered by zhe captain amongst one of our fleet capital ships. Rendezvousing with zhem at Battleship Strausberg, he had me lead a patrol wing around das New Berlin system to secure zhe lanes. Nothing had appeared while Gefreiter Merck and I patrolled the lanes other than the occasional transport carrying good inward. After reaching our final checkpoint, we were then ordered to rendezvous with a private Militar pilot and head to das Omegas. We successfully meet up with zhe pilot as das Hansen was heading out, but unfortunately for I, my jump went unsuccessful and my ship was forced to emergency shut down. Zhe rest of zhe men carried on zhe patrol, but I had to wait for a repair unit to pick mein ship up and bring it back to Strausberg for repairs. Reporting out. [color=#009900]~~End Transmission~~

Subject: Patrol Report
Guten tag Oberkommando,
Feldwebel Ludwig Meyer reporting in.
Uh, where to start.. it was some time since my last report, but hopefully, i am bringing enough infos on the last events now.
1)
Patrol with Admiral Voelkel, Gefreiter Otto von Marck and Gefreiter Thorsten Isolde.
We formed our wing near the Batteship Strausberg, and soon enough we received two "special" visitors, VF)Dennis.Koberstein, former member of the Volksfront, and a Hessian tagged vessel, [RHA]Lukas.Eisenhauer. Admiral Voelkel ordered me and Gefreiter Isolde to intercept the enemy crafts, and so we did. It was clear that they didn't want to leave, so we were forced to engage them in a fight.
The fight didn't last for a lot of time, but it was a harsh one. They decided to target Isolde, but we managed to destroy the Hessian ship. And, since the Volksfront member didn't want to leave, the fight continued, until the enemy craft was destroyed by the razor of a cruiser patrol.
Admiral Voelkel then put me in charge of a patrol to the Omegas, Stuttgart was pretty quiet, we met only a Bowex tagged vessel, Bowex) Wheatstone , hauling our military vehicles to Bretonia Space.
Omega 7 was incredibly empty, we checked the mining fields, no one was there. I decided then to jump in Omega 3 for a small patrol, considering the usual unlawful activity that takes place in the area.
And there, i had my first contact with the so called "Reaper of Sirius". Three contacts were on my scanners, [RoS]BasCelik[G] , [RoS] Gontfried.[X] and [RoS]Lamia[G]. The scans of their ships revealed that they are in possession of Outcasts technology, Wyrm and Kraken guns.
Considering the situation, Admiral Voelkel decided to jump in Omega 3 too. I didn't pay a lot of attention to the conversation that followed, because Gefreiter von Marck had a malfunction to his ship, suffering of a loss of power. Hopefully, he managed to turn the power back to the engines,, so we returned back in Stuttgart, where we docked at the Karlsruhe.
2) Patrol with Major Felicia Drum , in Omega 7 and the surrounding systems.
I met the Major near the Batteship Strausberg, where we stopped a small freighter, Mesmerizer. We told him that he would have been in trouble with his Navy transmitter here in Rheinland, but, considering that we had a patrol to do, we just left soon.
Nothing interesting happened in Stuttgart and Omega 7, so we jumped in Omega 3 too, outside the jumpgate, there was a Corsair ship, Mejor.amigo|Sails , a Titan class fighter. First we made him the civilian pilots he had in his hold, and then the Major decided to engage him. The fight did not last long, the Major was clearly superior, and the corsair ship was soon destroyed.
Omega 3 was clear again, so we decided to go back home. We had a small conversation in Omega 7 with another Bowex transport, a Shire this time, the name of the ship was Bowex) Walpole.
Back in New Berlin, we spotted a Hessian Bomber, Dreger, who was going to stop a Kruger Vessel. The Major had some more work to do, so she left me with the task of taking the Hessian out. While i was fighting the bomber, another contact appeared on my scanners, Barbel , a Hessian Gunboat. His aim was pretty bad, i still managed to complete the task that the Major gave me, destroying the Hessian bomber. The fight with the gunboat started, and while he never manage to drop my shield, my Hornvipers were slowly eating his hull alive, until he managed to escape
3) Combat report in Bremen, Libertonian invasion fleet.
This was the hardest and vicious battle i have ever been in.
We received a scramble from our observers regarding a possible invasion fleet in New Hampshire, heading obviously for the rheinland space. I took off as soon as i could with my bomber, joining Lt Schuster wing to Bremen. The Nassau, battleship class, was securing the jumphole to New Hampshire, while the rest of our forces were setting up a defence perimeter around the said jumphole.
And suddenly it began, when a lot of enemy ships jumped in Bremen, the Westphalia opened fire on the large hostile formation, while we started to destroy their capital ships. First the TF7|LNS-Wyoming, followed soon later by the TF7|Oakland, the LNS-Thor to which personally gave the coup de grace.
By that time tho, most of our forces were already been destroyed too, on the field, only me and Gefreiter Arthur Heisenberg were still capable of fighting, and so we did, me on the gunboats, the Gefreiter on the fighters. We managed to destroy the LNS-Braveheart, that was already damaged, before receiving a help from the cruiser RNC-Bielefeld.
With his help, we destroyed the LNS-New.Jersey and the gunboat LNS-Assaul1, making the other gunboats ran.
